Lightwave Yachts & Charter Yachts Australia

Leading Australian catamaran builder Lightwave Yachts is launching the new Lightwave 45 Grande at the Sanctuary Cove Boat Show in 2009.

This is the company’s sixth ‘big boat’ product launch at Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show as a ten-time exhibitor. The Lightwave 45 Grande incorporates a “super size” deck design, providing ‘big boat’ comfort on ocean going hulls. The model on display features the charter layout with four cabins/four bathrooms and Galley Up. Other features include an optional spa on deck, 360-degree views from the saloon seating and fabulous forward vision through large forward opening hatches.

It has protected cockpit seating for 12 and Lightwave’s signature Raised Helm Station with all controls coming back to the cockpit. Optional layouts include a three-cabin/two bathroom layout where the entire port hull is dedicated as an owner’s private retreat.

The Grande model is offered as a sail, power or motor-sailer catamaran.

Charter Yachts Australia is showcasing the new Lightwave 45 Grande, which is currently in production.

Built by Queensland company and business partner Lightwave Yachts, the 45ft sailing catamaran features four double cabins and four bathrooms with an additional berth in each forward cabin, suitable for a child.

The galley is upstairs next to the saloon with fridge, bench and storage space which leads directly to the cockpit area – making entertaining a breeze. The cockpit provides large outdoor dining and lounging areas with BBQ and features the Lightwave Raised Helm Station.

It offers easy access to the water or dinghy from both transoms. The vessel can sleep 10 in comfort.
